Very very late winter: 2nd last day of AugustYou can tell spring is just around the corner when you see these pretty and delicate blossoms. As they sway softly to a light spring breeze, and dance among the soft morning rays, they light up the world with their cheery pinks....ahh...I love Spring!
These blossoms were taken from our neighbour's apricot tree, hope there will be plenty of fruits to share around in summer! :p
Spring's here, so time to pull out the weeds and sow in the seeds! We got a variety of seedlings from the nursery today, all ready to be planted into our veggie patch! Exciting! We've got spinach, eggplants, rainbow chard, nasturtiums, sweet peas, basil....Frank's already hard at work, guess I better get cracking too!
Of course, there will always be tomatoes, all time favorites! Got ourselves Heirlooms, Yellows and Tommy Toes! Cute name! haha...
Oh look, Mr. Pots has decided to help out this year! Other than looking after our garden (although he spends more time chatting up the garden fairies than anything else!), we've also got him to look after the chives seeds we've sowed in his little pot. Hope the ants don't get to the seeds before they sprout!
One of our rainbow chards already in the ground....
We've decided to plant our spinach seedlings in a pot, so we can get them out of the way of spinach munchers in the garden...but too late, they've already been munched on! My stinging battle with the garden pests continues....Frank caught them red-handed later that evening...snails....
There we have it, our veggie patch! Sowed and planted, all ready for another bountiful harvest this summer, I hope!
Though our font yard is still in a mess! Well compared to our neighbour's, which is neatly trimmed, weed-free and growing daisies....we'll get there, once we clear all those weeds!
And Frank says: "No fear missus! I will get it all done with my Wong Fei Hong flying kick! Haaaaaaiiiii-Ya!"
I think my hunny does enjoy his gardening....we can do it! :D

Nice blog of an otherwise boring subject.. gardening.. yuck.. puke!! Love Uncle Flank's kung fu fly kick though .. lol
Haha....I think Frank is just as excited as me to get the garden going, finally! Now it's just that front yard....
Oh by the way, we are growing our own mushrooms! We got this mushroom growing kit from the nursery and it comes with step-by-step instructions on growing them. Will be great for the kids if you can find it! ;)
